A Raisin in the Sun
Tickets

Lorraine Hansberry's classic play explores the tragedy of dreams that never quite come true because of the limits that prejudice creates. The Younger family has a chance to move from its cramped apartment to a house in the suburbs, but racial prejudice from prospective new neighbors–and the patriarch's poor decisions with money–puts this dream in jeopardy. Catch this timeless American drama and watch as this iconic family comes to life on stage.
